[Music] foreign Jesus precious mighty name we pray amen you can all have your things praise God praise God hallelujah a few some minutes ago I was praying and while we're praying actually the Lord said sounds you know our father-in-law has told us sound is a means of Transport in the spirits we are the ones that think is a form of enjoyment actually in a sense it is the form of is the type of enjoyment you know you enjoy when a visiting Spirit comes it comes through sound your Bible says that um when the Holy Ghost came they had a sound as a mighty rushing wind that was the transport it was by sound the Holy Ghost came you know it's also sound also helps that is how demons enter inside Spirits enter inside or outside the man Bible says in Acts 8 7 he said and demons with a loud streak came out of them their unclean so sound is a way of transport and why am I saying this we're going to be watching the news and where you know we know that those who are of Our Kind have the spirit of God so the sound of God you know dwell in their lungs so as we're watching the news let's open our hearts because the Lord is going to be traveling the the king spirit is going to be traveling through sounds beloved encounter Jesus television news [Applause] [Music] welcome to encountered youth television news your One Stop source for all things happening in and around encounter Jesus finishes International my name is amaka akank our year of establishment is off to a great start last week's Miracle service was amazing as we were prophetically launched into the year 2023. here are some highlights your techno Frontiers because you receive new light somebody is going to receive greater light you will open one verse of scripture and light will flood you for three months one scripture will still be talking to you you read that scripture you thought you understood it you conquered the territory another dimension of that spiritual opens you enter your conquer another territory another dimension hope because light has come everyone hear this under the sound of my voice that came here with an infirmity it could be an air conditioner and eye condition an organ infection a bone condition whatever infirmity you came with in the name of Jesus the Lord I take authority over every infirmity and I command the chain helper I command the chains of infirmity break in the name of Jesus [Applause] one more time if you've been touched can you just wait one more time one more time look at that now hear this all of you who have been touched inside outside on the gallery just come up quickly I won't take the testimony but come up [Music] [Music] our Tuesday Bible study was a time of doctrinal establishments as apostle Michael or Oppo taught us on the doctrine of forgiveness we learned about the extent of sin and the impact of Christ's sacrifice on the cross here are some excerpts somebody lies he comes rose on the floor cries cries and when they he weeps and biochemically he feels okay he now assumes that because he's okay God is okay you are joking unless you are the one forgiving yourself that you wept and the biochemical reaction took place and you felt okay does not mean God is okay now how do you then receive forgiveness you receive forgiveness by believing in Jesus Christ because when you believe in Jesus Christ what Jesus did becomes your record and who you are becomes Jesus's record and so the blood of Jesus begins to speak forgiveness for you and the Judgment that Jesus Took is now credited into your account also this week our very own Apostle Michael robot was live at House on the Rock Abuja for a groundbreaking session all live through this life hoping on luck and chance they are 7.73 billion people in the world even if there was luck when will your tongue come when will your nation be in the line for luck when will you have tried the Apostle for luck there are over 7 000 languages in the world even if they were given according to to tried it will take more than 200 years before certain tribes are caught then if they come to your tribe how many are you look nothing like lock here we live through this life with power that's why I said the gospel is the power of God unto salvation if there's no power there can be no salvation see the things of your destiny are not a gift they are taking the world is you take it by power that's why he said the kingdom of God suffered violence the devil will insist that what is yours shouldn't come to you and so you need to know how to square up shoulder to shoulder and the way to get it is by power even God can help you if there's no power in your life breaking new grounds and opening New Frontiers got Severance Apostle Michael Ropo was live at the embassy of gold Ministry International inaugural service for our very own Apostle Victor over it was explosive in the city of Abuja particularly in the Aziz of kubwa there is a cave there [Applause] [Music] a cave like that is liking to the cave of adulam a place where the weak will come and find strength there's a tribe that must be formed so that the victory of Jesus on the cross can be ensured as far as the borderline of kubwa and Abuja is concerned you will not find Believers that will be marginalized because when this horn is exalted one of the signs you will see is that Deliverance will be engendered and I've journeyed with a possibility for a while one thing I can tell you is upon this man is the grace for prayer and so I can assure you that a tribe of Warriors indeed is about to be born when he said it's a warrior Nation I said this man have read this group he has seen the things that were written before the foundations of the Earth because a warrior nation that will be able to provide the quota of intercession so that the will of God is done is about to emerge from kubwa and watch this very soon men will travel in this direction to seek the god that answers prayer like a father foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] with a shot with my donation in the name of the father this week we spoke to our Director of Missions Pastor Godwin on the progress of our project 5 million souls and he had some very interesting things to say for the year 2022 we began our soul-winning Enterprise from the month of April to the month of November 2022 and within that period we were able to organize six Crusades we were able to go on three medical outreaches we went to two IDP camps that is internally display people's camp we took relief materials to widows and orphans I think we're able to do that once and in general we spent a total of 33 million naira within the year 2022. it's quite expensive but for us um it is a mandate but beyond being a mandate to us you cannot actually quantify the soul of a man you know but that the Bible said we were bought with prize and what price did God pay he took his son Jesus Christ to come and die for us so what shall a man give in exchange of his soul so there is no Financial value that is commensurate to the soul of any man so for us it is a mandate that we must go out to evangelize irrespective of the financial implication wow if you've not been going to win souls this is the time to start speaking of winning Souls we will be having a crusade at Kobe in asokuro from the 20th to 21st of January 2023 and we encourage you to participate either financially or through your physical presence that brings us to the end of today's news we'll see you next week and we wish you a powerful service once again my name is amaka King and this is encounter Jesus television news [Music] you can do it better Hallelujah praise the Lord welcome to encounter Jesus Ministries International you may want to greet someone beside you greet that person quickly exchange pleasantries Hallelujah on behalf of God's servant Apostle Michael Rocco and his dear wife Mrs Senegal oroko we welcome you to encounter Jesus Ministries International this is encounter Jesus ministry where sons are raised to do the buildings of their father where priests are raised where kings are raised it is written that we are made priests and Kings unto our God hallelujah praise the Lord my name is Godwin and my mission here tonight is to take testimonies we have testimonies in the house but before we take testimonies I'll start the month of December like we just watched we already won 80 617 Souls [Applause] and we are just two weeks into the month of January our partners through evangelisms through Crusade have already won a total of fourteen thousand twenty eight Souls within two weeks already making a total of ninety four thousand six hundred and forty five Souls you may want to Clap Your Hands for Jesus Hallelujah so in view of this we will be embarking on our first Revival Outreach to asokoro as you rightly watched beginning from 28th to 21st of January at Kobe asokoro Hallelujah and on the 21st of January that is on Saturday by 8 AM will be at community in maraba for our medical Outreach you may want to put your hands together for Jesus also Hallelujah [Applause] for those of our brother that comes from Apple axis especially in wumba we want to let you know that a hall have been secured for your weekly prayers that is a great achievement I expect you to celebrate Hallelujah so the hall is a long Fidelity Hospital Road wumba Apple Abuja where are we meeting every Saturdays for prayers amen so I encourage you to join us if you have been praying before it's time to pray more if you have been embarking on evangelism before it is time to do more if I've been partnering with us in any form it is high time you did more because the assignment of Soul winning is a responsibility to all believers and specifically to encounter Jesus ministry is a mandate to win 5 million So within 24 months Hallelujah so we encourage you to join us as we embark on all our soul winning Enterprise beginning from this Friday and Saturday and the Lord will bless you in the name of Jesus for it is written that is soul any man that wins a soul is wise the implication of that is if you don't will a soul you are not wise do you want to be a wise man then win a soul Hallelujah we have testimony in the house also the Bible speaking in Revelation chapter 19 from verse 10 the big part of it it says worship God for the testimony of Jesus is a spirit of Prophecy so what testimony does is that it is our token our act of worship unto God and it is a prophecy that has the ability to multiply itself so tonight we have some testifiers Hallelujah I'll be calling few persons up to testify while I will read other testimony so if the following person is around please quickly run up to the platform here sister Esther omo Cafe brother basil Ako brother japheth please hurry up to the platform here while they are yet coming I want to testify on behalf of sister Angie sister Angie said she began 40 days fasting sometimes in December she didn't believe she was going to make it to the end but the lord gave her the grace and she completed the fasting and she's happy she's here to return Glory unto God Hallelujah she was in their need of funds and there was a particular person that promised her a financial assistant periodically but at this time the man was not responding to his to her calls or her messages so she got fed up and stopped calling him she decided to go on prayer and disturb the man on her knee and one of these days the man returned her call and requested for Account Details lo and behold she woke up one morning and saw a lot of twenty thousand dollars You may wish to celebrate so if you have Financial need I decree the name of Jesus the Lord will meet your needs in Jesus name Amen brother said I've been having pains at my back for the months for more than a month now but at the proclamation of God's word by God's server and the pain immediately disappeared Hallelujah sister and also testified that she has been suffering from persistent pain after fibroid surgery that have caused a lot of concern to her but at the instance of the Declaration from God's servant the pain vanished immediately Hallelujah amen [Applause] for want of time may I call up brother to come and share his testimonies put your hands together for him thank you good evening church good evening my name is basil AKO I'm here to testify to the glory of the name of of God our last Sunday while we were here I have had this experience of what they call athlete food for one year I didn't even know it until I saw it on my leg I I shared it with a doctor brother of mine he told me sometime much last year he gave me some oh it's meant to buy I bought them and as I kept using the ointment it wasn't going down at all at around September last year I couldn't even wear a shoe it continued that way the Solon came down I could manage to wash you I have thin until now I am until last Sunday I was still feeling the pain in between the last uh finger of my foot when the man of God their father in the house made the Declaration about all infirmities I felt the insensation on my left foot and I accepted that declaration and behold I am healed of athlete food it did not stop there that is what happened as a Sunday before I left here within the week I also discovered that my eyes hurt me and then I remember that the man of God told us before we left here as we go we will pray and we'll experience Miracles I I I connected that pain in my eye to that declaration and behold today I am free of that pain glory to God you may wish to put your hands together for Jesus Hallelujah athlete pain healed by the instance of the word of God Amen praise the Lord okay I want to I want to thank God for what God has done for me I I'm not actually thanking God for me like I want to appreciate God for all that he has done it was last year December that um we've been going out for missionary work in different countries so last year's own was so particular like I didn't want to go but God help me so I met with apostle he declared some words for me we've been going but it has not been like that before I was scared but this last one was massive like we want Souls God was with us despite challenges and the experiences we travel on high sea for three hours a lot of things happen over there in the country of Cameroon but to the glory of God my joy is that the words of our Apostle came to pass about 1 500 Souls were won and then not just not just Souls and many things happen many miracles took place and people were baptized in the Holy Ghost and join us to preach so it was somehow um amazing so I just want to I just want to appreciate God for those things he did for us and I want to thank our person very much for those words he declared for me I took it during that fasting season it worked for me so I want to challenge you also if you are here you don't have passion for Souls I don't know what you have passions for that's the main thing we are alive that's where we are surviving so I want to appreciate God for everything the massive testimonies the massive healing and the massive Souls that we want to God be the glory in Jesus name Hallelujah I encourage you to take every declaration from this altar serious because you are going to get results from it in the name of Jesus Hallelujah praise God my name is Esther omo Cafe last week Sunday my husband was here for the first time and after their meeting he came back home and he told me that he stood in for me for healing so I was like thank you so much but I'm still feeling the pain so he said I should try and come one of these days I said okay so on Tuesday I came for Bible study and in the course of the ministration I was trusting God for healing but that wasn't the major thing in my mind because my daughter was taking my attention so much so when I got home that night the next okay the next day I noticed I was totally healed from an eye condition I was actually having problem with these eyes like an object in the eyes and I couldn't look sideways so the next day I noticed the whole thing disappeared and also I also noticed a restoration of my monthly flow after four months I said to God be all the glory in Jesus name amen for one tough time we cannot take more testimony I want you to lift up your hands and give God praise appreciate him

offerings tithes your seeds and your contributions while you package it I would like to remind you that the state of your heart is important while you give the Lord looks not at your pocket he looks at your heart that is why we have um in mark 12 42 and 43 Jesus was saying observing the people who came to give their offerings in church he said that the poor Widow who gave just two cents was much better than the rich men who had contributed little sums from their Surplus so your heart posture is important much more than anything so prepare let us pray in the mind's name of Jesus as we package let's begin to pray let's ask God for the right heart for a contrite heart for a heart of obedience Thanksgiving as you give even the heart of sacrifice father as we give to you we ask that you

seated God bless you God bless you God bless you thank you Father thank you Father we love you we honor you again tonight we are privileged to gather to enjoy Fellowship When We Gather like this we are afforded the opportunity of communing with God and we're also given the opportunity of communing with one another there is a blessing for interacting with God and there's also a blessing for interacting with one another the Bible said behold how beautiful and pleasant it is for Brethren to dwell together in harmony he said it's like the oil upon the head of Aaron that runs through his beard down to his cat he said it's like they deal upon Mount Hermon he said there the Lord commanded His blessings so there is a place where you are assured of the blessings of God and this blessing is not just a blessing that maketh rich is deeper than that this is a blessing that causes you to vitally interact with God the anointing begins to flow and everyone becomes like a high priest you know in the Old Testament only the high priest has the opportunity of going to the holy of holies to fellowship with the Shekinah he said but when we gather together the experience of the high priest becomes the experience of everyone and so even the list of the Brethren can also participate and partake of that which only only the high priest has the privilege of interacting with and that's why I said in Hebrews chapter 10 verse 25 not to despise the Gathering Together of one another as is the manner of song and so we are honored this evening interacting vitally with God and also with one another you want to appreciate somebody seated by your left or by your right one more time connect with that Grace connect with the virtue you may just be shaking a prophet maybe he prayed for 40 hours before coming here who knows and you have not prayed you're just connected to something and the harmony begins to take place so when you shake them check with honor something can flow virtue flows through gradient ah praise God it's always a delight to share Fellowship this evening we are honored to have in our midst very revered functionaries that we would have to honor but let me begin with um the president [Laughter] the president of the embassy of God Ministries International God's servant apostle Victor Emmanuel come on give the Lord a shout s foreign [Music] is the act of safety and it's a ground of raising Kingdom Warriors so we that song was to salute him because they are a tribe of warriors Apostle Victor is situated in kubwa and trust me something heavy is about to break out from that region of Abuja to the ends of the Earth those of you who are in kubwa you want to join them on Wednesdays and Thursdays it will be a place of prayer there'll be intensity there'll be transformation and life will be made available and so tell your friends invite them they will have encounters that will change their lives and their stories forever it's labeled with us here and it has pleased the Lord to set him apart for a very unique and strategic assignment for the last days and so we are honored to have him share Fellowship again God bless you brother you may be seated God bless you thank you again I have a brother all the way from benue State he came to town to also be a part of the inauguration and to share fellowship with us is a is a prolific teacher of the world the pastor with Christ Embassy and I've known him for many years has integrity and reputation and is deep when it has to do with the exegesis of scriptures and he loves the Lord with all his heart can we please celebrate God's servant Pastor Patrick good to have you thank you for coming one of these days we will have you come and bless us you know when Pastor Patrick is teaching apart from the fact that scales fall off your eyes your heart begins to burn your heart you understand what the Bible meant when they said their hearts were pricked every time I sit under his ministration my heart begins to burn you just live there and you begin to seek God at another level doing a mighty work for God in benue and he came into Abuja and decided to share fellowship with us I usually don't honor him because he doesn't want to but because it's the first service I'm seeing him for this year I want to salute again very specially in our midst a father he has been with us from the beginning and his consistency is something else he just comes and sits quietly just to hear the word of God and he always come with his wife these are very senior people in society but they love the Lord and they've shown us the example of humility and Brokenness can we please celebrate God's servant never Commodore anayo and his dear wife who is also another captain here to share Fellowship thank you so much we honor you sir we love you so deeply God bless you and of course all the directors are here heavily seated with fire in their bones praise God we celebrate everyone for coming all the ministers we may not know you in person but thank you for coming we love you and we celebrate you this evening I want to share something that is very vital I will trust God to be calm so I can explain some things you know we had a bible study on Tuesday I wanted to explain the Bible I didn't intend to preach but you see there are certain depths you enter in light and you begin to interact with energy there's a level you joining light and what you have is illumination and direction but there's a level your journey to in light that you don't just receive illumination you start touching energy and power when you get there it becomes difficult to manage the situation and so we broke into something heavy on Tuesday I didn't even get into the subject of the day because of the weight and the intensity so today I want to explain some things because I want to draw your attention to sensitive things that will bless you I've shared with you before that our world is a wicked world you see when you study scriptures try to pay attention to Absolute tenses when the Bible is using absolute tenses pay attention is very important for example Jesus speaking he said it is the spirit that quickens he said the flesh profited nothing if you don't pay attention you will read and pass but what Jesus was trying to let us know is that the flesh has already been judged it's not something that will be joined it has already been judged and the conclusion from the studios of Eternity is that no Prophet is in flesh and so anything you do that originate from your flesh in theological sense is called Dead walks they cannot strike a cord in the realm of God because flesh profited nothing you cannot no matter how creative you are in the flesh you can't derive value from flesh that will have Spirit significance so that's an absolute term so if you want to really make progress in life you'll look for a way of defeating the flesh especially when you are doing Spirit business number two when you study Galatians 1 verse 4 the Bible called this age this word an evil world you may throw into a territory and they tell you things are fine here that's deception there is nothing good anywhere in this world anymore the only good thing you find on Earth is Christ and the areas where his kingdom is allowed to accept to be exercised if the government of God is not there it's called evil Galatians 1 verse 4 not 14. he said Jesus gave himself for our sins that he may Deliver Us from this evil age and it corroborates what the Bible said in Isaiah 60 from verse 1 he said arise Shine for thy light is come and the reason you need to arise is because Darkness shall cover the Earth and gross Darkness the people so the Earth is in darkness and Psalm 74 verse 20 said the dark places of the Earth is the habitation of Cruelty so there is cruelty on the face of the Earth only a naive and gullible person we walk through Earth and Hope on luck and chance somebody wakes up in the morning they say if it will happen it will happen if I'm lucky there is nothing like that you are reading a textbook that doesn't exist if it will happen it will happen don't exist if it's my lock doesn't exist that's why most persons who are victims in life subscribe to such philosophies and because Jesus knows this he gave us one prescription the prescription he gave us is power he raised people and worked with them for more than three years when he was about to ascend to heaven he now advised them don't run out and say I was with Jesus you will die because it's possible for you to snap a picture with a man of power and you make it an enlargement and put in your office put some on your handle it's on Instagram it's on Facebook I can't breathe for you power is so personal that if you don't have it you will die so Jesus after educating them they had all the syllables they had all the lecture notes they had seen things but they said tari in Jerusalem Luke 24 49 until you are endured with power so every believer must have power Vitaly as an inheritance and next week I will do a teaching on the doctrine of power but tonight I want to I want to do a teaching that will help you know how to generate power that's what I want to teach on tonight next week I will do a Doctrine on power power because there are different kinds of Power for different purposes the sound that is being generated from this microphone is a form of electrical power but it's called sound sound energy there's another power in form of light and illumination if I have sound and I don't have light I will only produce what sound energy can produce I will be in darkness that's why I will go into the doctrine of power to show you the intricate dynamics of power but for tonight I want to teach something that will help you walk in power because there are too many believers who are not working in power and they don't know why and so they joined the unbelievers and they confused people in the world hoping things will work nothing worked like that you had the testimony of the sister she called the man several times the man wouldn't pick until she went on 40 days fasting by the time she gauged into a level of power the man did not just speak the man sent money and he didn't send neither it's easier to send naira from some of us who understand transaction the man labor to send dollars and it was not one thousand it was twenty thousand dollars the question is somebody who has the heart large enough to give you that kind of money why was he not picking your call because it will take power for you to get his attention it's not English language that secures his attention his power and so Jesus told them carry until you are endured with power he went to heaven came back and stayed with them for 40 days and before he left he said wait again in Acts 1 verse 8 you say not many days from now you shall receive the Holy Ghost yes the Holy Ghost will teach you wisdom yes the Holy Ghost will show you things to come but of all the Holy Ghost we show you there's one I want to pick up he said you will receive the Holy Ghost and power because power stands out in all of these things so a man who doesn't understand how to walk in power is a victim waiting to be taken off [Music] because there's an evil day a portion for everybody what you call the testimony is actually an evil day converted to it to to Victory and what converts that evil day to Victory Is Power because that thing you call testimony killed somebody else you had a growth and you come to testify and said the growth vanished that same growth killed somebody else so the reason you are not in the grave but testifying is because power separated you from those who go to the Grave and so the outcome of a man's life is a product of his understanding and engagement of the principles of power if you don't know how to engage power you are a victim tell your neighbor you must find power power power power power [Laughter] you know when I was teaching on Tuesday I was trying to explain to us the things that are already available to us in Christ because there are some things that are already available in fact all things are available in second Peter chapter 1 verse 3 he said according as his divine power had made all things that pertained to life and godliness available through the knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue and Paul speaking in First Corinthians 3 21 he said all things are yours so all things are already available but you need certain things operating in you to access all things and one of the things you did is revelation and understanding and so on Tuesday I was trying to explain to us on a very vital subject that brings us to Victory in fact I said that syllabus is made up of four teachings number one is the doctrine of forgiveness number two is the doctrine of righteousness number three is the doctrine of sanctification and number four is the doctrine of consecration I said the doctrine of forgiveness is the revelation of God's unconditional love that necessitates our exoneration from the penalty of sin not because we did anything but because Christ paid the price we just believe it and so sin is deleted from our slit when God looks at us it looks as if we've never sinned because the truth is if God finds sin in you he will kill you When sin was put on Jesus he was not spared he was killed God didn't say he is with me so long as we have carried sin you will die the wages of sin is dead that's how it works and so in the doctrine of sin of forgiveness expiration and propitiation took place expiration is the technology of washing sins away by the blood of Jesus and propitiation is the technology of carrying God's anger on the cross so that God is no longer angry within us that's what happened and so when you believe in Christ and confess him education and propitiation is credited to your account you are now forgiven so you are forgiven because of your faith in the finished works of Christ now when you come to righteousness righteousness is a declaration that was made in the courts of Heaven that now that you are forgiven you are now qualified to be an heir of God so everything that gives right in the spirit is credited to you and so on the strength of righteousness you are not coming into God's presence because God is kind to you you are coming into God's presence because it's your right because he has given you the right to come there so you appear there but this right is not something you end it's something that was given to you by the love of God this is why he said to come boldly to the throne of grace and obtain Mercy it's possible because you have been declared righteous and I said righteous operates in twofold number one is a product of a declaration of God that you are right and I said number two is because the nature of God is put in you because of these two things it is not expected for of you to live rightly so right living is a product of righteous nature if you are not living rightly it's probably contestable that you have that nature now when you finish the doctrine of righteousness you now come to the doctrine of sanctification and I said the doctrine of sanctification is the doctrine of Holiness because sanctification is the word it means to be set apart so why in forgiveness you are exonerated from judgment in righteousness you are declared qualified to appear before God in sanctification you are expected to live for God because you can be living right not for God it's one thing to live right it's another thing to live for God so God does not want you to only live right he wants you to live for him and then when you finish sanctification you now enter consecration so we're trying to explore forgiveness and I said why does God forgive I said there were three major reasons why if God forgives number one I said God forgives in order to restore relationship because the moment sin came our relationship with God was truncated and so Romans 4 25 and Romans 5 verse 1 the Bible said that Christ was delivered for our offense and then in Romans 5 verse 1 it said being freely justified by faith we have peace with God and so what forgiveness does is to bring you into a relationship with God that's why you just say thank you Father you have a vision you may not even know the cost of an Angel appearing to you you carry the scripture you look at it and the scriptures begin to talk to you you now wake up you say you're intelligent you have revelation of scripture the reason you can see what is there is because relationship has been restored so God cannot interact with you you can interact with God and I said it doesn't stop there the second reason God forgives is because God wants you to operate in life because the technology of Victory is actually tied to life the quality of your existence is defined or predicated upon the kind of life you have no matter how you train a baboon a child of one year will be more intelligent than a baboon a child of one year will be will speak intelligible language a baboon cannot speak a very learned baboon is an illiterate before a child of one year the reason is not the quality of teachers it's the quality of life and so when God gave us life he wanted us to operate in his class and so in Colossians 2 13 He said you were dead in your trespasses but he said in forgiveness he quickened you into the life of God and so the reason you can have God's results is not because you're intelligent it's actually because you have the life of God and then I said the third reason God forgives is to give you power and authority because in Colossians 2 14 it said every handwriting of ordinance that was against you was nailed to the cross and he said having spoiled principalities and Powers he made a public show of them after he made the public show of their defeat he now appeared to the disciples and said all power in heaven and on Earth has been given to me he said you go in that power and so I said everyone who believes in Christ is already a career of power and I took time to do this recap so when I started talking about the protocol of working in power you will not begin to analyze Doctrine for me and say no if I have the Holy Ghost I have power and we're together because there are many believers who are oppressed by demons yes they have power but they can't manifest it they have power but demons are still suppressing them and so it's important for you to know that when you receive Christ because you were forgiving Authority has already been bequitted you but walking in Authority is another syllables entirely and there are things you must subject your soul to in order for you to draw from the power that is at work in your spirit in Ephesians 3 20 he said God is able to do exceeding abundantly above what you can ask or think according to the power at work so the power must be at work in you before you can see the results it's not just for the power to be in you in forgiveness and upon your faith in Christ Jesus the power is in you but there are some things you need to do for the power in you to be at work and one of the things you must do for the power in you to be at work is what we call the the mystery of fasting and so this evening I want to I want to teach us on the subject of the power of fasting because fasting is one of the things that activates the power at work in you can I shock you everybody sitting here can raise the Dead but it's a potential everybody sitting here can live in Divine Health without sickness but it's a potential everybody living sitting here can cast out Devils but it's a potential the people who vitally will command demons and they will be there's something they've done to that potential to make it a reality and those who know how to engage that potential there's something they do it's called fasting now why am I teaching this now there are many believers who negate the things that are meant for the advantage and so what the fathers of Faith did because of wisdom is to create a system around Christian calendar and to use those Seasons to draw the attention of even the nominal Christian to those things so as to give them an advantage at least once in a year so if you go around the body of Christ now every church is fasting it's not because it's a ritual it's actually because if they don't fast in January some people will never fast again until the end of the year so when the fathers of Faith saw that it would be difficult to get some Believers to fast because fasting is supposed to be a lifestyle but because they discovered it's difficult to get people to fast they now prescribe that fasting to the first month of the year and sometimes when they teach it they teach it with a measure of threat if you don't find some things may happen this year things may go wrong so because of fear many Christians will fast they know at least that thing will help them so what we try to do is to take advantage of this season to now bring understanding so those who understand it after January is over they will keep fasting because fasting is not for January fast is for life it's for victorious living are we together there is so much power in fasting in fact when you read the Bible one of the first secrets of power that the Patriots of all discovered was through fasting there are many secrets of power that the fathers of all discovered and their littered the scripture one is prayer another one is sacrifice another one is fasting so when you are reading the Bible the Old Testament looks like a story but it's not a storybook it's actually a book of great Mysteries if you don't pay attention you may not see what is happening when you start reading that book you will discover that the fathers of old were spiritual archaeologists the journey in God to find things and when they find those things they make them available to the body of Christ that's why we call them Patriarchs the name patriarch is not a title the name patriarch is actually conferred on people that opened up dimensions for the body of Christ and so when you read the book of Hebrews chapter 11 We Are The Heroes of Faith were chronicled you will discover that all of these men pioneered strange others in the spirit for example the Bible spoke about Abel and the Bible revealed to us that what Abel found in God was sacrifice he said Abel provided a more excellent sacrifice than Cain because of that he was declared righteous so why these men were walking on the earth they were studying God and Excavating things from the realm of God and so it is through a bell that we discovered for you to have a relationship with the spirit you must always have sacrifice because the way you are attract the attention of a spirit is through sacrifice so anybody who wants to have a good relationship with the spirit must you sacrifice that's why both in light and in darkness you can approach a spirit without sacrifice if you go to a native doctor now they will tell you go and bring a virgin because Spirits respond to sacrifice it was a bell that paneered it when you study Abraham's life you will discover Abraham power when you have something called faith so Abraham became the custodian and the the pioneer of the faith order and so Abraham's life actually is a revelation of the fact that for you to please the spirit you must trust him now that's a higher Revelation to sacrifice that's why the Bible speaking it says to obey is better than sacrifice and to hacking than the fat of rams so when a man hears a spirit and obeys him which is a revelation of his faith he is superior to sacrifice and that was what another patriarch pioneered it's so sad that discoveries in God have ended because most people now are working with God because they need a car the moment they come they say God accept us I'm driving a Range Rover so what you discovered in God is what was created and invented in Germany your journey in God is shallow when people are finding things that are immortal is a car you you entered into God to pull out you let God in God that what you came up with was a car a car that has a lifespan of seven years what a journey [Music] [Laughter] a guy supposed to be a byproduct find something that is immortal that when you leave it will be a signature among the sons of men and every time that Dimension is invoked it becomes a memory and your honor in heaven even when you are in heaven they will look down to earth and say the reason men are worshiping today is because somebody said in Genesis 22 5 I will go up with the Lord to worship so it was because of Abraham that men started worshiping God he was the one that taught us that God should be worshiped and so Abraham can never die even in the next dispensation he said man we come from the north the East the South and the West to honor Abraham because what he has found is Immortal anybody who is worshiping God today is worshiping God because Abraham walked through the Earth so whether you like it or not you must subscribe to Abraham he can die Evil Jesus when he was coming he was called The Seed of Abraham because the things the Pioneer they were Eternal in God and so is the fasting order the fathers discovered fasting as one of the provokers of power anybody who wants to walk in power must learn and master the way of fasting and so this evening two things I just want to show you for you to practice is how to fast and the benefits of fasting so when you are fasting you know what to focus on because you can be doing that which is right but focusing in the wrong direction and so it's important for you to know how to do it and why do we need what to focus on and that will be the major emphasis of my teaching but like I said fasting is powerful in second Samuel chapter 2 verse 21 we saw that David's son took him and David subscribe to a technology the moment his son became sick David started fasting the question you ask yourself is how did he know that they were to handle the sickness is not just to look for herbs but to begin to fast what is the connection between fasting and the healing power how did he know that's why they are called Patriarchs they know what you don't need in the textbook are we together because David knew there is power in fasting and the moment the child died David went and took a shower he said well what's the point is that is that so there's no need to fast anymore so David knew one of the reasons men fast is to generate power and because I can't generate enough power to keep him alive the first thing has ended so David defined to us the jurisdiction of the mystery of fasting that power is the jurisdiction and that was not the only case in second Chronicles chapter 20 verse 30 verse 3 we saw that three nations beseeched a king called Jehoshaphat the armies were greater the strategy was Superior and Jehoshaphat knew even before the battle that he was already defeated and instead of Jehoshaphat to start looking for human connection instead of Jehoshaphat to start emergency training program Jehoshaphat gave a commandment Annie is superior to us but there is something we can do to engender an intervention that gives us Advantage beyond the physical and he said a fast was proclaimed and all Israel began to fast the question you want to ask yourself is what does fasting have to do with military intelligence coming with both told you that by stopping yourself from eating you can mobilize forces that can counter the intelligence of an army not of one nation but of three nations put together they are Weaponry is superior to yours it means this man understood something that our generation don't know when a man has a little problem he is looking for all the relevant contacts in his phone that's his first point of reference but people who live many centuries before guns were created knew that there was a power that was Superior to everything natural and it's unfortunate that even till date have you read the Bible for 10 years some persons have not excavated what the men of old who didn't have scripture knew because in the days of Jehoshaphat there was no Bible they were reading you could just find screws and parchment of profits but how did they have this kind of intelligence do you know what it means to risk your whole nation a nation is coming to fight you when you should begin to look for human connection when you should begin all kinds of training you'll tell everybody drop your weapons let's go and seek the Lord in fasting how did you know that what you are doing is not foolishness that will cost the whole nation because they knew something that was deeper than mental knowledge [Music] when you find believers who don't fast you just know you are seeing people that can easily be destroyed see when we speak boldly in the lord it's not just because of what God has promised is because of what God has revealed we must do in order to claim those promises if you know what God has promised alone and you are not doing what God says to do to inherit those promises you will still be a victim I can't tell you how many persons who have told me I will die but I know some things that are more they are more assured than even the Visions I see I've had dreams before when I'm about to go for a meeting I was in the coffee and people were weeping they were burying me and I was watching myself being buried when I didn't understand certain things because some things have their foundation in God nothing can shake them when I started growing in understanding I now told myself if I was the one watching the barrier it means I'm not the one how can I be watching my own barrier and then I went further to tell myself how about the programs God has committed to my hands I'm not yet finished how about the sacrifices how about the fasting how about the prayer how about the prophetic world an Undiscovered certain dreams can be mirrored by demons in order to frustrate you from doing God's assignment I stop praying about those visions and so when the devil shows it I say okay when I come back remind me of the dream because I'm about to hit the road but you need to understand the power of these things a king can drop bows and arrows and go against three nations just because they fasted and prayed there's something about fasting you don't know if you know it you will know that that business can fail if you know it you will know those people who rose up and cost you they were wasting their time if you know it you will know all those men that ganged up against you they just wasted their Destinies because the time they should have used to invest in their Destiny they are using it to wait for you to die they will wait for a long time the people who gave you a lifespan of success they will they will grow old and they will still say you do great things at the worst case scenarios that their followers will now know that they are liars okay [Music] do you follow don't be intimidated we have things that are Immortal fasting is one of them we saw David put it to work we saw a king risk the destiny of his Nation on these things and they didn't fail they do even read that in Ezra chapter 8 verse 21 this guy was traveling to go build Jerusalem and armed robbers Bandits all forms of criminals were waiting to attack them and the Bible said if you will get it from New Living Translation it will be better that Ezra declared a fast the moment they finished fasting God didn't speak the man knew that for they having fasted they are already invincible and so he finished fasting and started going forward and no Bandit could attack no Terror could come on them what did they know about fasting if you know it you'll become as Invincible as they are and so when three when people who have three times your strength gang up against you you will tell yourself if nebuchadne if Jehoshaphat was able to survive it then fasting has not changed if they tell you this part you are taking you'll be destroyed you will tell yourself if Ezra was able to go through Invincible it means the power of fasting has not yet been truncated because there is something about fasting that the Elders of all knew this is why they fasted it was not a religious activity it was a mystery that stared power but in the realm of God and the one that is currently resident in your spirit we cannot do without fasting if I have time as I'm sharing I will talk to you about some fast things that I've done if me I become fat it will be by a miracle me if I become fat my wife knows that since we got married she can count the number of times you cook breakfast for me it's a waste of food she can come even when I'm not fasting my system boots by two o'clock because this this stomach it has been compressed in fasting so it's sometime around 3 P.M and I start feeling like I've not eating I've trained the body so much through fasting that I can't eat in the morning if I'm eating the money is like grass I'm trying to understand what my system is not acquainted to it thank God Mr Godwin is here we did our masters together I fasted from 2012 to 2017 straight because I was doing three days in a week I was in sensing energy enough for what I was intending for and so I went on every day fast six to six from 2012 to 2017. those were the days when he looked as if my intestine will rupture I said it's better to die qualified for Destiny than to leave a mediocre that time he took responsibility of buying TomTom for me every day he come you say take TomTom you need it well we're writing exam in fasting they say you will die I say I'd rather die qualified to live than to live unqualified to exist [Music] there was a time I went to the hospital they said do an all-round body check you have been traveling when they now check me they discovered the acid content of my stomach was higher because of excessive dehydration they now checked and discovered the wall of my stomach had thickened and the doctor told me this is a miracle because you are supposed to have ulcer but there are few people who if they don't have ulcer their stomach become sticking so that the abrasion from their acid will not affect their stomach but we needed to generate enough power for Destiny imagine now that sometimes you run a schedule where you come pray for one week there are times when you travel you on the flight for 18 hours when you reach you are preaching back to back and then you finish you hit the same flight 18 hours when you come back for two days you are like a dead man we have generated power reserved seven years ago because when God was putting that burden in us he saw today meanwhile you are a young man there are battles around you and there's a glorious destiny that those battles will not allow you for fear and you cross your leg and say we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus I will show you some scriptures Jesus was speaking to his disciples he said this kind goeth not but by prayer and fasting because there is such a thing called this kind there are some casual demons that will hear you and say it's true it's true some other demons when you said you provoke them you say is this so is that so okay let's test you don't be tested when you don't have power there will be crisis [Music] you can't do without power and so the first thing you need to know about fasting is that we fast always we don't fast in January we don't fast when Church declare fasting if Church declares fasting that is good but whether they declare it or not will leave fasting we live a fasted life that's the secret of victory in this realm ask anybody making genuine impact you can make impression and people look at you and assume things are happening Time Will Reveal that that thing is fake if what you are doing is genuine you must put fasting at the foundation if it is not there it will fail because Jesus himself told us that fasting is a compulsory part of our syllables in Matthew chapter 6 verse 16 to 17 he said when thou fastest [Music] and that word is numerous because when he was teaching this he was teaching it with prayer went out prayers and when they asked him about prayer he said man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God and when he was praying he said give us this day our daily bread so if you eat bread really you pray daily if you pray daily then you fast daily because prayer and fasting are on the same scale if you don't make it a part of your life especially now that you are young when the evil day comes you'll be shocked I have seen great Destinies uprooted as if their lives is nothing I've seen great people with great possibilities cut off from existence as if the God never existed and sometimes I go back to question God why would you allow this to happen they say if you're overtaking in the evil day it means your strength is little so what will keep you in the everyday is the strength that you have built and that strength comes in fasting there are people who come to say the Bible said we should do fast that we only thought to fast within that window of 40 days that Jesus went to heaven because Jesus was speaking he said the bridegroom is with them so they shouldn't fast when the bridegroom is taken then they can fast and the bridegroom was only taken for 40 days 40 Days Later the Holy Ghost came so now the bridegroom is with them so fast is not a must read your Bible again in Matthew 9 15 he said they were fast when the bride room is taken away that's true but that's not all he said about fasting because in Matthew 17 21 he said this kind goeth not but by prayer and fasting and when he was talking the bridegroom was with them so even if the bridegroom is with you and you're done fast if the this kind come you'll be in trouble and because you don't know when the discount will come you must make fasting a vital part of your existence I was talking to a lady the other time she had my messages and she was convicted she coming from from from the United Kingdom and when she came we were fasting so she said my God she wanted to join us she was so fascinated that we're fasting this lady was 28 years old and I said ah when was the last time you fasted she said she has never fasted before you asked 28 years old you have never fasted no wonder God is like a story in a textbook to you when she was on fire and she wanted to fast she went 6 to 12. that was a that was a fit in the spirit she had broken a world record that she faster 6-12 my God my son cannot be 12 years old if he has not mastered fasting from 6 to 12. what are you doing at the age of 12th it's a wonder that she's able to fast from 6 to 12. you see why Europe is now becoming cold because they took God into theology Seminary and they wrote textbooks about God and trapped him in theology when you come they show you theological textbooks that existed 100 years ago so they have all the theology but God is cast because they violated the ancient landmarks and that's why God is depending on Africa because we went back to excavate God they don't get away and so when we talk it's beyond the intelligence it's a life that is communicated and one of those things that make you presently carrying God is fasting and it's not what to do once in a while it's what you do regularly in your life not because you're a preacher but because you want to live a Victorious Life else the power will be in you but you will die with it it will not be your portion in Jesus name how do you fast let me give you three quickly the essence of my teaching tonight is for you to learn something and practice if I'm I conclude maybe five minutes to go I will shift the atmosphere a bit because some people love fire only if there's no fire Kai oh God oh God so because of some people maybe five minutes to go if I sense the movement I will later praise God how do you fast number one when you're fast basically fasting like you know is to starve yourself from destruction including food in order to see God that's what fasting is starve yourself of distractions both illegitimate and legitimate distractions in order to allow you time to seek God so if you are not seeking God you are not fasting it could be a hunger strike are we together but in addition to avoidance of certain things there are a few things that must be added to that starving process while you are here seeking God and that's what I mean when I say how do you fast you fast with righteous living [Music] if you are fasting and your life and your lifestyle is not consistent with the standard of righteousness stop you are wasting your time God will reject you so fasting is not just a time of avoiding food it's actually a time of calling your attention to righteous and just living because it is that just living that validates that fast before God many persons are fasting they are oppressing the house gear the child is eating chicken the house gets drinking garlic without sugar you you just went to a hunger strike for 40 days you live fast because that Wicked Act we make God abhor that you're fasting in Israel somebody is fasting and suppressing his workers at work pay salary you won't pay you'll carry their money you put a fixed deposit you want to generate some quick interest why somebody's child is driven from school why somebody has no food to eat and you come to church you say you are a spiritual person they call you a woman of God you say bless you bless you you are a wolf in sheep clothing a wolf you'll say you are fasting somebody is laboring trying to make progress in life and you are doing everything possible to stop that person that is not fasting don't kill yourself this is why many people have awesome because the power of God does not come the presence of God does not come to Shield them if you go hungry for a long time it can kill you the reason that hunger does not affect your system is because the presence of God comes to Shield you why do you think Moses was able to stay without food and water for 40 days it was because of the intensity of the presence of God and so if you don't fast correctly that excess hunger will trigger a negative reaction that will destroy you but if you fast correctly that fasting can become even of medicinal value because fasting also has medical value neurological disorders are corrected through fasting tumors and they put the potential or having tumors is destroyed through fasting hemostatic balance is restored through fasting are we following but if you don't fast the right way the protocol will be reverted you will begin with ulcer symptom somebody's fasting he is doing witchcraft on another person trying to pull him down trying to destroy him that is not a fast so how do you fast you fast with the Consciousness and a vital living of righteousness if you are not living rightly you will have a challenge that's why every time people fast repentance is activated because fasting that is approved of God must have righteousness as a mark a punch Mark that defines and validates it Isaiah 58 verse 3 to 6 New Living Translation I want you to hear this thing let it sink so you don't just know it but you practice it get me the scripture quickly Isaiah 58 3 to 6. he said we have fasted before you why aren't you impressed they're asking God we're taught to say you love fasting we are fasting why are you not impressed we have been very hard on ourselves have you found some people who fast they want to literally kill themselves because they think God is impressed when they are lived become dry like rock if there's no righteousness God won't see it they say we have not just fasted we were hard on ourselves and they say you don't even notice it and God answered I will tell you why is because you are fasting to pleasure yours to please yourself how can you be hungry to please yourself when the spirit is talking sometimes it's difficult to understand how can you be hard on yourself to please yourself what kind of pleasing yourself is that I thought when you want to please yourself you look for a succulent environment that can create some form of Massage and relaxation how can you be hard on yourself and you say it's pleasing yourself but it's a spirit talking they say even while you're fast you keep oppressing your workers so that fasting is wrong you are fasting and you are oppressing your workers go to the next verse you say what good is fasting when you keep on fighting and quarreling you say this kind of fasting will never get you anywhere with me if it's me you are trying to Journey with you have wasted your time you will not go anywhere with me go next and say you humble yourself by going through the motion of penance and I wish I have time to tell you about Penance what these people do when they are fasting some people will go barefooted and climb the mountain their whole leg will be full of blister they are doing Penance some is on their knees and they will even be reciting some things on their knees and they will climb the mountain the whole Knee will be torn with blood and then they hope God will see it and say my daughter my daughter I have seen the way you from put yourself that is not the god of Heaven God actually acknowledged that they humbled themselves they say you humbled yourselves by going through the motion of penance blowing your head like Reeds bending in the Wind they say your dress in ballab and cover yourself with ashes that is the reputation so they did everything right it says this what you call fasting is it by pouring ashes on yourself is it by Penance is it by humbling yourself that's God talking he said do you really think this will please the Lord now go to the next verse I'm showing you how to fast some people think fasting is just about avoiding food and then they'll come and say I didn't eat for the first 14 days the next seven days I drank only water and then the last day [Music] I I didn't eat anything God bless you but God is not counting that yet until this is gotten you say no this is the kind of fasting I want it's a free those who are wrongly in prison lighting the burdens of those who work for you he said let the oppress Go free remove the chains that bind people you can't claim you are fasting you are pulling somebody down you are destroying somebody you said to subvert a man in this course the Lord that prove it not so if you don't want to waste your time better eat healthy don't have kwashiorkor until you have done the writing you are doing man keeping malice back biting and you'll say you are fasting when you finish counting that day delete it because it wasn't recorded in heaven and so the first way to fast is to fast through righteous living and just living if your way is not just you have just successfully gone on a hunger strike number two how do you fast [Music] this is generally many people are fasting okay let me add another scripture because the Bible said it is two or three witnesses that establishes a truth Jeremiah 14 12. [Music] he said when they fast I will not hear [Music] when I read some scriptures my heart will shake quickly what are you saying law this passage that I fasted and suddenly had the QD here should I die the Bible said him that is in the grave cannot praise thee why would you not hear he said one day offer Bond offerings and an oblation I will not accept them he said but I will consume them by my sword and by famine and by pestilence you read that scripture down you know why he said so because there was no righteousness in what they do because you are a major every other person is a Slave you come you kick them you have an eagle so you can oppress people there is one that is above all of us and the way he judges us is how we treat others so there's no fasting except as Justice is re-established and that's why every time people begin to fast correctly they start repenting they sign that your fact fasting is beginning to affect you is no longer the sign that your fasting is beginning to affect you is that your conscience will start being pricked and every Injustice you are involved in you'll start repenting if that fasting has not affected your conscience may it not affect your appetite because if you restore food you only handle hunger you didn't achieve anything in the spirit because Justice is the first requirement for accurate fasting number two how do you fast you fast with prayers somebody is fasting he is watching he gathers all the seasonal movies thank God it's a week of fasting he is looking for what to do to cover time because after he prayed the third time it was 10 40 AM and he's supposed to go up to three o'clock meanwhile 12 is like Mount Everest and so in order to Journey to the top of the mountain without knowing he is now at substituting another distraction with the destruction he took away in form of food he will now go and gather Prison Break he watches in one two season three the first two days of the fast the next four days he goes to season 12. and then he will say ah we just canceled 14 days where are you going to Mount Zion or you are going to Hollywood this is why people have ulcer fasting because they are not praying they are not studying in the New Testament almost every time the word fasting is used prayer is added I just quoted for you Matthew 17 21 this kind goeth not but by what prayer and fasting when Jesus was teaching about fasting in Matthew 6 prayer was also taught there you can't separate fasting from prayer because when a man fasts he is trying to seek the face of God and so the fasting separating from worldly destruction it is the prayer that carries him to the godrem God does not move because you're fast you are the one who moves and so if you separate yourself from food and you don't move in the direction of God through prayer any other thing you do at that time the impact will be stronger because at that time your spirit is sensitive if you watch a movie at that time a demon of lost can enter you because your antenna is sharp the moment you start fasting and multiplying the flesh you will notice that spiritual sensitivity begins to increase and so it is foolishness to fast without praying because when your antenna is sensitive that's when you want to receive feedback and so the second way to fast is to fast with prayer if you know that your itinerary is too choked and you won't have time to pray reschedule that fast so you don't allow evil enter your soul your soul is porous when you fast the reason you pray when you fast is because you want God to saturate you if you don't give God time of prayer something else can saturate you easily and so fasting must be done with prayer and there's no prayer it's not fasting it's hunger strike and I can tell you many people go on 40 days fast all of the prayer they pray put together is not up to three hours in a 40 days fasting 40 days they counted this but they never struck cause in the spirit and they come back and say they fasted for 40 days no you didn't and so first thing must be done with prayer when Jesus went to the Wilderness to fast in Matthew chapter 4 the Bible said he prayed and fasted for 40 days and 40 nights Jesus didn't fast for 40 days Jesus prayed and fasted for 40 days and 49 that's how it's done Believers are marking time and not the spirit and they said they are fasting this is why you can't come out with the benefits of fasting if you don't fast correctly the guarantee of having benefit is not there you can only receive the benefit of fasting when you fast correctly are we together the third way to fast is to fast with genuine repentance Jonah chapter 3 verse 5. when Jonah went with the message to Nineveh the Bible said they thought their clothes they pour ashes on their heads and everybody from the King to all the citizens and the beasts in the land he said they began to fast and to repent he said so the people of Nineveh believed God and proclaimed a fast and put on sack clothes from the greatest of them even to the list of them and they turned to the Lord if a man is not repenting is not yet fasting because fasting will provoke genuine repentance this is why we encourage fasting and if you want to fast correctly you must fast with Justice you must fast with prayer and you must fast with repentance if you begin to fast like this then there are benefits and so let me enumerate the benefits to you I'm listing them so you will focus on them when you are fasting one of the things God taught me was the fact that power is conducted through your consciousness if you are going for a meeting and your goal is for people to fall down people won't fall because you prayed people will actually fall because you Channel your Consciousness in that direction I've demonstrated this many times I can call somebody and look at him and as I'm looking at him I will pull him down with my mind I have generated the power through prayers but I will conduct the power through Consciousness people ask questions why don't camera men fall we don't want them to fall if therefore who we record even if the camera man wants to fall we will bring him back to stand how dare you forward if you're far how is the world see what God is doing the cameraman don't fall because the power is not without spiritual intelligence we channel the power through our Consciousness this is why Consciousness is very important if I'm praying for the sick here sometimes the reason we talk is because we are directing power but we don't only direct power through talking I can want to pray here and I begin to exercise my focus in the spirit to see growth vanish when you start taking testimonies that's the highest testimony you'll see because even though the power was released a higher percentage of the power went in that direction if you start walking in a dimension it is your Consciousness I will determine the predominant aspect of that dimension for those who work in the healing anointing there are those who are like as part of deafness because they built Consciousness around it so much and sometimes it's because maybe their loved ones were deaf or something happened around they told they are aggravated when they see people who are deaf so unconsciously they have channeled their minds to deal with death issues some deal with cancer some deal with cripples that's the area of predominant Consciousness so largely the power generated will travel in that direction God does not function with you outside your soul and your mind make no mistakes about it the quality of manifestation you have is reflected to the quality of your mind if your mind is wrong your manifestation will be wrong if your mind is weak your manifestation will be weak when you see people operate in excellence it's not because God is the spirit of Excellence yes God is the spirit of Excellence but it is your mind that will reflect him excellently that's why you go to certain places you'll find the best of Excellence you go to other places is like a Market Square it's the same God but mind separating God into different expressions and so the reason I'm sharing with you this benefit is not just to apply them it's so that when you are fasting you will Channel your Consciousness in this direction and then the power you generate through fasting will begin to create these effects do you understand this now praise God I thought number one benefit of fasting is to release power [Music] when you are fasting don't put your attention on time don't put your attention on the hunger for those of you who are fasted you will notice you'll become hungry usually at the time you eat if you don't eat in the morning when you are fasting you won't feel hungry in the morning I'm not talking about those so fast occasionally that tell you ah today that I want to fast and I want to kill me you fast once in three months so anything can happen to you but if you are a regular person who fast you will notice that if you eat by 1 pm the moment is 1 pm you want to die of hunger because hunger is an alarm system that you need to eat to stay healthy if you don't eat by 130 140 2 o'clock you discover your body will advise itself and hormones will be secreted glycogene will be converted back to glucose and your body will use it and you will gain balance So Hunger won't kill you so when you are fasting don't focus on Hunger don't focus on time focus on power because what you are generating is power that's why Jesus said this kind God not but by prayer and fasting because the power required to dislodge the demon can only be generated from fasting the reason many persons don't really make the most of fasting is because their Consciousness is in the wrong direction when you find me fasting I tell myself I'm an envelope of power I emit power I generate power and a point came I started exercising it I can come to a meeting and deliberately shut down the whole atmosphere if I fast to a meeting sometimes I make everywhere boring and when everywhere is boring I start giving instructions because I need to prove this thing to myself first that what I did actually came with power and then I'll begin testing the waters I can give instruction I want the Holy Ghost to baptize three persons now and when I talk usually when you are learning it your mind is not yet strong to channel doubt and fear will be attacking you'll be stabilizing your mind you'll speak in tongues Tom you are speaking you are not talking to God you are you are correcting your mind come on shut down be careful what are you doing people now see you and say ah man of prayer no you are corrected you are redirect noise is trying to interject with the frequency of power and you say three people now God will you are training yourself and you are operating in the spirit when you master it oh yeah that's why you start enjoying it you can enter a meeting and you'll send something ah you'll now tell yourself I came here with a garment of power and so those of you by the right um I want to give you a gift where is the gift coming from it's not from Heaven it's coming from here because the power has created it and you look at them and say I decree now doors open it will be like joke it will happen and even what I said now is like joke I wish you understand this I would have demonstrated it but this is egmi if I do it now somebody watching will say forget he has been watched the people that's why those of us who are traveling ministers when we talk Hills because we are not talking to people who we disciple I don't know how they do it when I come I change the atmosphere you are like a tornado the wind can be blowing towards the right the tornado will be coming from the right to the left the tornado is not part of the atmosphere it is the atmosphere and so when you master these things things are not working you say okay this is the opportunity to test somebody comes to you and say I've not been able to sleep for three days you don't pray you're now tell him go and sleep and get back to me in 24 hours you didn't pray you know you carry power so you spoke power that time now that's not English language that's power talking and the person will go and sleep and come back to you and say my God I was able to sleep what happened no you now tell yourself he didn't work it Dey walk in the walk in the walk in the walk if they walk you know what to not do you go forward somebody comes to you and say he's deaf you say ah since when have you been deaf let me see here open you say check I can't heal you now tell yourself check work check what as you said why you start telling them you know God is real God is real God they say they don't know what you are doing you are in the school of the spirit because you know that fasting generate power now you are faster for one month how will you test it if the power is not available then is hunger strike if you are fasted correctly for one month one of the things I must see is power and power is not thought power is manifested if the power is there they prove that is there is that work will be done and most of the work that will be done will be done so far naturally my friends are here they will tell you sometimes I'm driving with them I say car I think I need this thing now they will laugh okay talk sometimes in 48 hours that thing will come you were saying it yesterday me too all of us will be doing talk until you find fasting because it's not happening because you are special exactly because there is something you are doing and you know what you want to achieve by doing what you are doing this is what suppress emotion from reality and so when I'm fasting I'm not moved by what I'm feeling I can feel and I cannot feel but I know that fasting generates power so while I'm fasting my focus is on power the power must come and so when I first I gauge it when I fast I gauge it when I fast I gauge it and then I can tell when I'm growing because of the things I can change by talking casually so when you fast don't focus on time focus on Power number two fasting and gender's favor [Music] is a currency in the spirit especially for those who have visions what you need is not a domiciliary account what you need is a favor account you can have a domiciliary account that will be dry for 10 years have favor what we make or move a man to lead his relatives to help you is not the color of your skin there are two major things favor will do for you one it will make men submit to you and number two it will make resources gravitate in your direction the Bible said God gave favor to the Israelite that was all he needed to give them before they left Egypt and he said they spoiled the Egyptians people came to give them gold they don't know why somebody came to my house today to give a Rolex is that she said she will give it next week but she couldn't sleep she couldn't rest that thing that that oil that perfume made it impossible for her she will roll when she couldn't sleep again she said I'll give it now I'll give it now where are you it's like she lost her sleep and if I tell you how many teams have come to me this year only some people have not received it in 10 years it's not because I'm a pastor it's because I have favor but one of the ways you provoke this element of favor is by fasting a man who fast is like aromating himself when you come out something will happen to you let me read you a scripture so I don't over stretch it Esther chapter 4 verse 16. now in those days in shushan the king is so big he had over 120 provinces those were the days when if a king wants to celebrate birthday the birthday of a king is for three months they will celebrate from one Province to another by the time they go around the whole provinces that day would have been three months in Celebration and so because of the things the King has to attend to even if you are his wife if he doesn't call you into the court and you enter you'll be beheaded that was the law of the land and then there was a manipulation to destroy Israel and somebody needed to see the king before the time of the verdict that was given and so the only thing you would need in order to break those protocols will be favored but these people were wise and this is what the young Maiden said foreign [Music] to tell the Israelites he said go gather together all the Jews that are present in shusha it's a first year for me neither eat nor drink for three days or three nights I also and my meetings with fast likewise and so will I go into the King which is not which is not according to the law and he said if I perish I will perish because if you violate that law you will perish but she was trying to provoke something that will authorize her to break protocols now go to chapter 4 verse 1. shame on Santa go to chapter 4 verse 1 5 1. and see what happened somebody wants to deliberately break protocols what kind of audacity is that you see why when a Believer is complaining the angels are wondering have you read the Bible have you not seen the things that happened before you came how can you say people hate you how can you say you are not favored see some people think the reason your message is accepted is because it's on every platform they now pay and put it on every platform nobody will now click [Music] some people think you'll be heard is because of the intelligent exegesis so they are explaining Bible with Bible script always scripture if they want to explain one thing they use 24 scriptures and they are explaining it and when you're finished nobody will look at it the reason that we have your time in this busy world is because favor will stop them the reason men we have will will give you attention is because something will be on you that will make it impossible for them to to neglect you they they they made they knew this and so she deliberately wanted to break see Power is beautiful when it doesn't happen by fluke when you can make it happen you can make it you know what to do to make it happen that was the demonstration of the Excellency of the spirit that was revealed here that somebody tells you you are finished and you say no I'm not I'm not not because I trust anything but I know what to do somebody tells you you will be kicked out and you tell yourself I can never be kicked out not me and you know what to do and you do it and get the results such was the demonstration that this queen showcased here he said now it came to pass on the third day the moment fasting was over he said that Esther put on her royal apparel are you seeing something she put down fasting before she put on Royal apartment some people are putting on Royal appearance without fasting you are going for the job interview you want a suit ironed your shirt and everything was fitted the moment you enter the person who is interviewing you will say Kai if I employ this person he will kick me out of this office and even though you qualify he will reject you the suit that looks excellent will be the reason why you will not be employed because you have put on the Royal upare without putting on fasting you bring a proposal and then I'll read it and say my God so this kind of thing is possible they will say get back to us they will go and change the title of that proposal and turn it to them you don't know this word you don't know this word they will turn the proposal to their own and tell you you know we can't we can't fund that that project after two months you will now see your project with another name flying ah is this not my project yes it's your project but they bought it over he said now he came to pass on the third day that Esther put on the Royal Opera and stood in the inner Court of the King's house over against the King's house and the King sat upon his Royal throne in the Royal house over against the Gate of the house go forward he said and it was so when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court that she obtained this is why she fasted he said when the king saw her she obtained favor in the sight of the king and the King held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand so Esther Drew near and the King taught the top of the scepter on her now this favor is not English so see the impact hear what the king said it is foolishness to utter certain things but when favor is at Work men actually become foolish he said the king said unto her what will thou Queen Esther that is what do you want me to do for you and what is thy request she has not asked is that it will be given thee even up to half of my kingdom a man is not just willing to give you a gift he wants to divide his kingdom become if you want to be a cooking with me I will give it to you what did she do thank you she fasted you'll see why you have spoken the whole English for two hours they say okay wait outside we'll get back to you and they have been you have been waiting for seven months because you didn't add fasting to your oratory you only came with lingo thank God for queen's English but Spirits don't hear it [Music] can a king tell you I will give you up to half of my kingdom if you ask what did you come with I came with favor how did you generate it I generated it through faster and so when you are fasting instead of being mindful of time be mindful of favor when that fasting begins to affect you tell yourself I'm submerged in favor I'm submerged favor is beginning to arise on my inside and when you step out from that fasting altar you become audacious because you know you have done something and that thing you have done has an implication that implication is a provoker of favor you see why Believers are defeated they are not doing the things that are available to them you now fast in January for 21 days you exhaust the favor you generated in February Meanwhile your Warfare began in April by the time battle starts favor has finished not your perfume finish do you buy one perfume I use it for 10 years no matter how powerful and so if you want favor to be constant you will keep fasting constant this is what Believers don't know they are just quoting scriptures it's not every Christian tour you quote somebody will now come and see this and say because that's the hard favor I have favor do you have three days drive fast this thing was provoked Romans 54 said the things that were written at four times they were written for our learning that way through patience and comfort of the scripture might have hope so next time before you go to see the senator take a three days fast don't just throw there with your daddy don't throw there with your proposal go there with fasting that's why we teach like this to teach you how to dominate life next time before you open your shop and start the business for the year put seven days fast so that when you open that door even when your billboard is not working the angels will invite them because it's not everybody that will seek you through advert some will not know why they came if you ask them they'll tell you I don't know a brother walked into this place the other time I will say what and what happened he said he doesn't know he was just walking and he came in you can't depend on what you are doing to succeed you need something Supernatural added to what you are doing and so there are some physical activity that have spiritual implications and so if you want to go ahead in life instead of doing only the physical activities with physical implications add physical activities that have spiritual implications the Bible said when Aaron and Hall had the hand of Moses Joshua was winning that's a physical activity with spiritual implication the same way fasting is a physical activity with spiritual implication too many persons are dry of favor they have the best of ideas but there's no favor in their lives and so the people that should help them asleep foreign [Music] since we're online let me keep it if I start sharing testimony [Music] I thought my prayer people one two days ago they say Jesus Christ Jesus Christ Jesus Christ what's going on here and this is not about Ministry this is not it has nothing to see these things I'm teaching you please do that I'm begging you do that the results will convince you more than the message do them they gave us the land 1.5 hectares away estimated to what at least 1.8 billion and then we said okay because we come back in quick let's build a 2016 Auditorium first so that we can move in and then we'll start our project and somebody's throat to look at the land this is the land that was given to you what do you say you want to do I say you want to build a seven thousand sector Auditorium but because of our time we want to do 2000 first and it's okay I'll get my people who build it in two weeks [Music] testimony [Music] when we build it in two weeks you know the cost is more than 200 million as if that's not enough I see now came let's see the land so that we can bring uh stops to the field Buddhists are also two haters by this side is that about this one I said to her we don't know who owns it they say okay I will call now let's find out the owner so we'll add it [Music] when they say fast it's not story so my work is not to carry cement my work is too fast and so when I'm fasting angels are walking and I'm done my friend I say I don't know what God is telling him but God should keep talking [Music] you don't know how this Ram is controlled you don't know you don't know you're going to sat down and copy the a CV from the owner of Microsoft that CD is excellent but it will take something more than the intelligence of the CV for the CV to be approved I can't talk if I'm talking if I say some things I need security escort and I don't want to start carrying security yet because if people see you they'll think you are proud so sometimes it's better to keep the things God is doing quietly so that you'll be moving under the shadow [Laughter] [Music] the result fasting is a trigger of favor another person called me to local government I said I heard you have a project of land he said come and see this six plot if you like it I came and looked at it well my job is to come and see [Music] no let me stop here for security reasons sit down fasting see if you have favor you have rest trust me when I tell you trust me when I tell you trust me things that you cannot buy by saving for 10 years will be given to you for free and you'll be wondering how favor what is the top benefit of fasting fasting opens you up to the voice of God and to encounters you'll need strategic Direction in Acts chapter 10 from verse 1 to 4 and verse 30 we saw a man who does not have the right to participate in the Commonwealth of Israel his name was Cornelius but he knew prayer and fasting and giving of arms the Bible said in verse 30 as he fasted he said an angel appeared to him and said to him go and call Peter he will come and tell you the word of this life if a man begins to fast the heavens over him opens Daniel chapter 9 Daniel chapter 10 the man said in verse 2 Daniel 9 I understood by books the years of captivity of Israel but even though he had understanding he didn't have the power until he went on 21 days fast the moment he was done fasting the Bible said Gabriel appeared the moment a man begins to fast his Heavens begin to open the reason some people walk as if they are walking under close efforts is because their appetites are too bogus drill your appetite through fasting and see the heavens open to you who told you is everything about your destiny you pay for do you know the water of your destiny who told you you can pay for it the Bible said your sons and your daughters will come from afar they say strangers people you have no connection with he said they will stand to build your walls and so the greatest thing about your life is even strangers that will sponsor it but it will take a kind of power to make it happen and that power is fasting foreign people who have periodic encounters who hear the voice of God casually they put their appetizing check when a man doesn't control appetite God will be far from him he has God on his inside but he will not be real to him number four what is the benefit of fasting fasting creates atmospheres of intervention [Music] I said don't be pessimistic about life it's not only bad things that happen to people good things also happen to people if you lose money you should also pick money all the time they said I lost this money I lost that how many times have you picked money if you don't pick money then you are not permitted to lose money because it's not only bad things that happen good things also happen they kicked you out of the door when will dust open on their own accord you will need an atmosphere to control and to command that level of power the moment Daniel started fasting like I quoted the Bible said in J Gabriel appeared and he told him I Was Made to Fly swiftly that means the angel was a bit reluctant something compelled him to function even faster when you create that atmosphere anything is possible in Acts 13 1 and 2 it said when the Elders of the church in Antioch prayed and fasted and minister to the Lord he says suddenly the Holy Ghost said atmosphere is an atmosphere of possibilities fasting is not a church activity fast on your job fast in your office and if you are the boss get your workers too fast if you want unexplainable but undeniable things to happen there some people think it's only when We Gather in church with us who told you that is the only interest Miracles take place you need more miracles in the world than you need in the church and so if you want intervention so natural interventions on that job better include fasting get your workers too fast if it's a church-based organization better pray in the office fast in the office [Music] it's only Christians that think Christianity is an ancient religion that is meant only for church an Indian restaurant the first thing you will see is the god if you don't want to eat good and it's not only in India go to the UK find them there their God is the first thing they travel with their God but you find a Christian he's too educated and elitist for God he comes to the office he's speaking hello hello then demons will slap them off the seat they wake up and say I have headache he's not finishing why will he finish he wakes up he says stroke I don't know why I can't bend my back how can you bend your back when you left your God in church [Music] the Muslim guy somebody was telling me he went to see a top director in this country on a Friday he came with International delegates to conclude a government project and program they allowed you told them please wait it's time for prayer he carried this map put on one side of his office and started praying they waited until he finished praying when they finish the story he he surprised if you don't know that he should do it and he will be surprised if you're offended he can cancel that thing and say go to her but the Christian is God will always wait and that's why when the Devil Comes usually he comes when his God is waiting and his doors are porous for attacks and destruction fasting is not Church activity it's part of church activity but it's a lifestyle because you will need daily interventions and so when you are fasting be conscious of intervention he said the Lord shall be a wall of fire around you they say Angels shall Encompass around you so when you start fasting these things you become aware and realities to your spirit when things want to happen with you tell yourself no I'm an impregnable Fortress because when I was fasting it was not a religious activity I was creating a wall of fire around myself things don't happen to me I make things happen when we talk like that it's because of what we are doing number five fasting is an activator of adulations every time people begin to fast by dimensions of the ordinations begin to wake up your ordination will be dormant until you fast in Matthew 4 verse 1 and 2 the Bible said the Holy Ghost drove Jesus to the Wilderness to be tempted and he said Jesus fasted and prayed for 40 days the moment he returned his ordination was activated he entered the temple and began to preach the gospel immediately in Acts 13 verse 1 and 2 as the fasted and minister to the Lord the Holy Ghost says separate unto me Paul and Barnabas many Believers come to tell you what is my calling the question is not what is my calling is should I fast because if you are fasting you won't ask somebody about your calling [Music] your ordination will not be awoken until fasting because [Music] man another man gives you a destiny that was not written for you because men have programs men have projects men have institutions you must be aware of your ordination first if it's God leading you to work with someone that's beautiful is God leading you but if you don't know your donation don't be tied to something when there is a calling for you it will take fasting to be aware of it so you don't live through life and not even scratch your destiny because there are many persons who are not aware why they came here and the reason they are not aware is because fasting is not part of their daily menu they eat everything at every time somebody wakes up in the morning around 7 30 it's already yawning he starts with groundnut he enters children he takes D he takes akara the end are you an eater foreign by 12 o'clock he has eaten three times he just took into me at all he gets to walk he takes tea before you know what is happening there's light refreshment this is how they'll be doing their [Music] are you a gluton will you eat your destiny [Music] 12 o'clock you'll beat it three times and you want to fulfill destiny you want to affect your generation you how many see to meet themselves to you [Music] it's you I walk into your office by time you are eating I come another time you are eating you will still see me there you are not going anywhere go and look for a food contest that's where your destiny is [Music] ask those who walk around me they know and thus I traveled to minister for they know sometimes I go to a place to preach I eat only twice in four days did I come here to feast when I went to Pakistan I was there for seven days I had less than six times the guy looked at me and said what do you eat is a food not good I said don't worry this stomach is locked I came to the Middle East I come to an Asian continent to contend with the forces of Islam and then I will say wow what kind of food is this wow this is a good meal how do you prepare it am I a chef [Music] some will eat and eat and tell you my God what are the ingredients did you come into this world to learn about ingredients you don't know what the urgency of your destiny is about you are learning ingredients and then every day you are bringing new style new flavor a new fragrance [Music] they said they prayed and faster and the Holy Ghost said that means the Holy Ghost would not have spoken if they didn't fast and that's why many Destinies are still locked great potential every Prophet tells you they are seeing a crown on your head but that Crown never manifests because food won't let it you need to see some people eating they will take off their shirt remove their shirt as they are eating they are rubbing their head hi [Music] some will be rubbing their tummy all kinds of in this world where people are walking around the clock there are some people in this world I said you don't sleep long you'll sleep to be refreshed and so if you sleep for three hours and you are refreshed you have slept enough and it was David leader said the difference between night and day is night nobody say You must sleep in the night if you sleep in the morning you have slept for the day all night in the night and walk that's how people are thinking and dominating the award you you are there doing a you bring a chef you bring a nutritionist and you are following timetable this is what you eat in the morning this is what you eat in the afternoon this is what you eat in the evening and in case you don't sleep early take hot tea by by 11. so that you can rest where you can rest there is a place to rest forever and ever it's called the grave if you are not careful you'll go there soon when people are pressing into destiny [Music] how unfortunately there are certain Destiny is enough of you just because of food [Music] it will not be your portion everything written about you you will manifest it in your lifetime and you will not even do it at old age you will leave legacies while you are yet Young there is a power you activate when you fast it's not a religious activity it is a way of Awakening your destiny do you know the Destinies of men carry and they never realize it when I became serious with my life was when I knew that there was nothing new Under the Sun because you don't know if what God called you to do is a continuation of what Paul was doing if John could come in the spirit of Elijah Elijah is not the only one that left the spirit there is the spirit of Paul walking on the head how can I say I'm a preacher I call myself an apostle and I read what the Apostles of all did and I have luxury to sleep and eat what I want I'm a joker you are a businessman do you know the destiny you came to carry do you know the vacuum in destiny that you came to fulfill do you know the consecrations that power that Destiny who told you you can eat when you are hungry they say War onto a city whom's priests are children and eat for pleasure and not for strength we don't eat for pleasure we eat for strength when you find a man of Destiny eating it's building strength to walk the words of his destiny we don't eat because our appetite desire it we have control over our appetite [Music] to pray all night and they cooked a delicious pounded yam you say car it's been long I had pounded young you don't know Destiny it's lifting you should be drinking because you have a journey that night that's a mature person that's somebody who has woken up to the demands of this ordination your ordination puts consecutions on you and fasting is one of those considerations and blessed are you if you discover this early blessed are you nothing happens to anybody when we started this work we knew we were going to begin in January from November to December we fasted for 40 days the moment we enter January we rested and fasted for 14 days the moment we entered February we faster for 90 days and that has become one of the foundational elements of the city and so when things are happening they are not just happening thank God that they are happening but certain things have been revealed certain things have been revealed this is what makes the life of a man Invincible check every great man there is a time of modifying appetite there is a season of Awakening of the nation and many times those cities are seasons of fasting if Jesus who was the son of God needed to fast for 40 days to become aware of his Destiny who told you you will avoid fast and fulfill destiny foreign [Music] if you are not fasting your spiritual life will be up and down up and down up and down find the man who is constantly on fire he has won the battle over food he has conquered his appetite nothing kills the move of the spirit in a man's Soul like his his subscription to his appetite you want to stay on fire for God you must rule over your appetite if you have not mastered your appetite you cannot keep the fire of God foreign [Music] is not possible to have Revival without fasting when God breaks upon the people find out they've humbled themselves through fasting and so instead of pursuing people and say give me your fire go and excavate yourself because anything given to you can be taken but anything you discover is yours forever nobody can take it away from you I'm not on fire just because hands were laid on me I have given myself to certain things Pastor Victor knows any time my spirit is going down there's a 14 days prescription I have I pray every one hour in every three hours six to seven nine to ten twelve to one three two four six to seven I maintain that schedule for 14 days and I read the New Testament with trusting and prayer if I do that oh my God no matter how dead my battery is it comes alive because one of the ways of setting yourself on fire is to engage consistently the order of fasting if you fast long enough you will notice even the world will become noisy to you fast for seven days and come out of your house and find out if you want to go to the studio to watch football even the football will become noisy sometimes you'll fast until even the atmosphere you can censor it the air is passing you can pick every air that touches your body your sensitivity is that song There's a time I fast if I exit 21 days even if I'm lying down sleeping if somebody's at the door I can wake up and tell you Nathaniel is at the door you can really read everything happening around you you become like a rater how can the devil take you unawares if you are that revived if you are that sensitive it's impossible before anything happen you are resting in the heavenlies you'll find it there it doesn't come to the Earth Christians are lukewarm because they've given themselves to everything that their appetites deserve or desire that's why they cannot see the weight and the power of their destiny finally fasting provoke the reward when a man is fasting God is mindful he rewards those who labors on the altar of fasting Matthew 6 16 and 17. he said when you fast don't behave like the Pharisees that makes people know that they are fasting he said they have their reward they say but you when you fast you say hide yourself he said when you do that kind of fasting they say your heavenly father that sees in secret will reward you openly do you now see the secrets of Glory when you find a man all men celebrate them it's not gimmicks he's not manipulation there's something they've done in the closet fasting is one of it when you find a man who talks and the whole generation listens there's something he has done that thing happening in the public is God's reward for his secret level and so when people don't fast and they want to use manipulation to receive the honor that those who are fasting and receiving a spiritual fraud so it's not that it's not talking like a man or dressing like a man is the reward that only God puts on a man and one of the things that provokes that level of reward is a life of fasting consecrated to God in the place of fasting if you are not fasting you are doing yourself with this favor because there are too many benefits that your life should have that will be denied you because you are not fasting [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign there are two things that will happen now the first thing that will happen tonight is a baptism of hunger a fresh hunger for God a fresh hunger for the presence of God listen there are many shifts that should happen to you you are not just prepared you are not ready what was written concerning you if it is released then it will kill you [Music] last Sunday a woman of God came here stood up here and as she waved her hand the power of God began to move and many persons ran to her pray for me pray for me she just looked at them and laughed she went back to me she told me two things number one he said most of them are immature [Music] they just see things instead of asking about the consecration they want to come and receive it's not everything you carry you carry something it will kill you and it's even the one she wanted to pray for she couldn't lay hands on them because she didn't want to put forces in their Spirit it will break their destiny forces forces you see wait you run say who told you the greatest things of Destinies are not impacted they are found [Music] seek you're fine knock the door be open do you think honor can be conferred to you forever through implantation do you think a dimension of a spirit can just come to you by impartation and you keep it like that even if it is important consecrations will be demanded and so when you want to really make him party life you will find out what the Patriots did and you will hardly find a man in scripture who made him back and was not given to fasting and so tonight God wants to do something they want to put the hunger some of you now there's a wisdom you should have that you should be creating things that can bring in money in billions but your your soul has no stability enough to handle billions and so the way God will chisel you for that dimension of your ordination to wake up is through the Gateway of acid because when you are fasting God is remodeling your appetite some of you according to Ministry the dimension you are looking for you can't handle it and so when God wants to train your appetite he first of all invite you through fasting and you are not faithful you want two million people to follow you you want 30 000 people to sit down listening to you what will you tell them you need capacity enlargement through fasting lift your hands towards heaven I've been praying the wrong prayer Lord promote me Lord give me visibility can you handle the things that are at that level please ask the Lord for Hunger Hunger Hunger for his presence [Music] [Music] baby [Music] baby [Music] one of the things I desire is to see people very young doing extraordinary things because the day we start seeing such they will know that the cause of Africa is broken you don't have to be 50 to make things happen but for these things to happen with us young there are things we must know and give ourselves to there are some of you here that should step into inventive wisdom wisdom that will make you to become forces in the economic world commanding the attention of the global scale but it will take certain levels of depth and work with God for that kind of power to be committed to you there are some of us that should work in anointings anointings that even the fathers we wonder but it will take consecrations and so the foundation of consecrations is hunger for the presence of God now I pray for you as I'm clocking now forces will be released into people because some of you the power of God will collide with you if we hit you so hard and reprogram you because the things that kept you bound are about to break and you are about to be all shot into a new Corridor in the Realms of light where men are sold the right things on the Scrolls of their Destiny the powers of their ordination they accept us that bring them into their inheritances are handed down and so by the spirit of God as I pray for you now receive that hunger receive that power receive the freshness of the spirit wherever you are everything about your destiny everything about your ordination by the spirit let it come upon you like the wind but a cow shut up quickly I love it follow ers [Music] please help me we're out of time hear this all of you stretch your hands in my direction some of you are about to be commissioned for your destiny as you walk out of this place some of you for the next 40 days you're feeding and you're eating timetable is about to be rattled because you're about to be invited to corridors we are Destinies are abortioned father on ground and online my God I'm seeing people that know they carry crowns of Glory but they've never walked into it you're about to be summoned come up either come up either come up here come up Peter come up either or shall bring them here quickly let me lay hands on this one take that chapter now come on Peter come on [Music] Ottawa I call the prophetic I stared at River prophetic Waters ancient river we are the treasures of Destinies are kept I command them to flow but it is you will never be the same again power and forces are instrumental power my God is that Jesus report is the power of the spirit you are returning in the power in the power of the spirit you are returning in the power of the spirit but forever and not to sleep foreign [Music] [Music] foreign that's all you want that's what you are that's who you are [Music] um [Music] thank you [Music] I'm seen in the spirit men who are people who can move forward suddenly their bones are healed and they are giving wings to fly and so I met Paul to decree to you every obstacle to your destiny by the power of the Holy Ghost they are hereby remove [Music] d thank your father [Music] thank your father there are many things I would have said

the name of Jesus thank you Father [Music] thank you Father you can joke with anything in life don't joke with matters of consecration and fasting is cardinal don't go to heaven and discover what you should have lived on next it will be the worst state in eternity they worsted in eternity is not hell they worsted to The Eternity is realizing the life you should have lived never have to have lived it while you walk through time that's why when they spoke about the Son of Perdition they said his bishopric let another take that spirit is worse than hell you failed in what God designed for you
